Topics that will be covered include the growth in dairy sales that’s occurred because of partnerships with food companies, and how the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy is making progress meeting producer needs.  In addition, there will be background on Fuel Up to Play 60, the checkoff’s program with the National Football League, and details on how producers can access materials for use in local promotion.
